[Intrusions] TCP 445 is Safe

[Sean Rooney]

*chuckles*


well lets see, when we do penntesting and related work, our tests 
include a dozen or so that target tcp-445 and various bugs/holes that 
are present and verifiable on various versions of ms windows.

has microsoft ever heard of this strange little thing called 
"bugtraq"?? I'm quite certain if they looked they might learn 
something.

oh yes, and I agree with you James.
